Debt
I want to focus on the things I loveOn school and books and writing booksBut the real world is knockingBreaking the door downAnd I have debts that I must payI have debts that I must payI have debtsI haveNothingNothing to giveNo time no energy no headspaceI am all used up trying to fitTrying to make it all workI hurtSo I sitBut the sitting still means hurtingAnd the hurting means more pillsCall me what I amDisabledAnd as yet unfulfilledBut I’m tryingTrying to make it fitWhile the real world’s knockingClawing at my willReminding me of my debtsThe debts I must repayWhile I strive to be fulfilled
